Compact Dipole Antenna for Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting Service

A compact dipole antenna for the terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (TDMB) application is presented. The length of the antenna is about 0.06λ at the TDMB resonance frequency of 190 MHz. Miniaturization of the antenna is achieved by using meander structures and lumped elements. The proposed antenna has two resonance frequencies and covers the TDMB band from 174 MHz to 216 MHz in Korea. The antenna has good impedance bandwidth and radiation characteristics for the TDMB. The experimental results of the designed dipole antenna are presented and analyzed.     

Relative Elevation Topographic Surface Modelling of a Large Alluvial River Floodplain and Applications for the Study and Management of Riparian Landscapes

This paper presents a novel and useful spatial modelling technique to create a topographic surface that estimates a floodplain's elevation relative to the average low-flow water surface elevation of a river channel. This model was applied to a 121 km study area of the middle Sacramento River, California, USA, where it was tested as a surrogate for observed water table depth and an observed 3.3 year recurrence interval flood inundation surface using independent data sets. The modelled relative elevation topographic surface correlated significantly (p < 0.005) to observed well water depths suggesting that the modelled surface reflected a reasonable approximation of vertical distance to the water table. Results from a flood inundation pattern analysis indicated an overall accuracy of 79% for correctly predicting inundated and non-inundated zones. The model was then used to measure relative channel bank height and the distribution of riparian plant communities to examine landscape ecological relationships.

孤岛油田馆陶组河流砂体储层宏观特征

在小井距井网条件下,通过精细储层沉积学研究,确定了孤岛油田馆陶组河流储层油砂体和单砂体的宏观储层特征。河流砂体分为主河道、决口水道、充填河道和边缘河道4种微相砂体单元,岩石相主要为粉细砂岩相,成岩胶结程度低。单期河道砂体主要表现为曲流河性质,河道宽度与厚度用单期河道砂体宽度和厚度描述,二者之间为线形关系,砂体内部结构符合点坝侧积体的堆积规律。河流砂体不同微相单元决定了油田高含水期储层物理特性的总体规律。

Quantifying the effect of riparian forest versus agricultural vegetation on river meander migration rates,central Sacramento River,California, USA

Riparian forest vegetation is widely believed to protect riverbanks from erosion, but few studies have quantified the effect of riparian vegetation removal on rates of river channel migration. Measured historical changes in a river channel centreline, combined with mapped changes in floodplain vegetation, provide an opportunity to test how riparian vegetation cover affects the erodibility of riverbanks. We analysed meander migration patterns from 1896 to 1997 for the central reach of the Sacramento River between Red Bluff and Colusa, using channel planform and vegetation cover data compiled from maps and aerial photography. We used a numerical model of meander migration to back‐calculate local values for bank erodibility (i.e. the susceptibility of bank materials to erosion via lateral channel migration, normalized for variations in near‐bank flow velocities due to channel curvature). A comparison of migration rates for approximately 50 years before and after the construction of Shasta dam suggests that bank migration rates and erodibility increased roughly 50%, despite significant flow regulation, as riparian floodplains were progressively converted to agriculture. A comparison of migration rates and bank erodibilities between 1949 and 1997, for reaches bordered by riparian forest versus agriculture, shows that agricultural floodplains are 80 to 150% more erodible than riparian forest floodplains. An improved understanding of the effect of floodplain vegetation on river channel migration will aid efforts to predict future patterns of meander migration for different river management and restoration scenarios.

Novel Shorted Meander‐Line USB Dongle Antenna with a Compact Ground Plane

This letter presents the design of a novel multiband USB dongle antenna with a compact ground plane. The radiating patch is composed of a modified meander‐line monopole and a shorted loop to generate a dual‐broadband resonance. The proposed antenna supports WiBro, Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, and S‐DMB services. The total dimensions of the fabricated antenna are 10 mm × 45 mm × 1 mm, the most compact size among multiband USB dongle antennas reported to date. The measured 10 dB reflection loss bandwidths are 20.8% (2.24 GHz to 2.76 GHz) and 20.2% (4.86 GHz to 5.95 GHz). The measured peak gain is 2.97 dBi, and efficiency is higher than 58%. In addition, the radiation pattern approximates an omnidirectional pattern.     

A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF MIGRATION AND EXPANSION OF MEANDER LOOPS

This article presents a mathematical model of the plane evolution of alluvial meandering streams,through downstream migration and lateral expansion of meander loops.Under the conditions prevailing in natural streams,the channel centerlines follow sine-generated curves,with an assumed steady-state turbulent and subcritical flow,of large width-to-depth ratio(≥ 15,for example) and small Froude number(Fr ).The plane deformation of the channel is caused by the action on the banks of the convective vertically-averaged meandering flow.The growth(migration and expansion) of meander loops is attributed to the regime-trend.The computational results of the model show that the obtained migration and expansion patterns of the meander loops are in good agreement with those of observations and measurements in similar meandering streams.
